Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) blasted his Republican colleagues on Sunday for largely standing by as President Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked a group of Democratic lawmakers.
“We’ve heard very little, basically crickets, from Republicans in the United States Congress about what the president has said about hanging members of Congress,” Kelly said during an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”
His comments come as Trump has published a series of incendiary statements going after six Democrats, including boosting a post last week that said “HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!”
In another post on Thursday, Trump accused the Democrats of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”
And on Saturday, Trump doubled down on his accusations of “sedition,” while adding that the Democrats were “TRAITORS” who “SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW.”
